Don, you are probably right. We will remember this for a long time to
come. *smirks* That was the first thing I noticed. My wife and I
laughed. It's funny. =0) But, nevertheless your cool anyway. I'm
still trying to figure out how you get these release names anyway. The
"Revenge of Ed Wood", the "pining of the fjords"? Definitely
interesting to say the least.

Our 1.0.0 release was called "Stable as a Tombstone" - first stable
release of a genealogy tool.
After 1.0.0 was released, we uncovered a nasty bug in the non-English
versions, so we weren't as stable as we thought. "Revenge of Ed Wood"
comes from the worst movie of all time (which I have on DVD :-), Plan 9
from Outer Space, directed by Ed Wood. In this movie, cardboard
tombstones are accidentally knocked over by the actors. I guess they
weren't too stable.
1.0.2 is a reference to an old Monty Python sketch, where the dead
parrot is claimed to not be dead, but "pining for the fjords". In other
words, the 1.0.X release isn't dead yet.
Alex and I get a kick out of obscure release names :-) Gives everyone a
challenge to figure out what they mean.

GRAMPS - Open Source Genealogy

My wife and I found the entry for 'pining for the fjords' in the first
web page that came up in Google. We read the entire thing, and about
died with laughter. We've never read or watched anything Monty
Python-wise, so it was a kick for us. We loved how Praline was throwing
the parrot around. 'Hello Polly!' *chuckles* Anyway...
So.. is the next one 'pushing up daisies?' *chuckles some more*
